I don't demand perfection, so long as people are striving to be better. He didn't just change his mind, he told everyone about it and went on the air about it, too.

(53,661 posts)Love what Maru Kitteh said on that thread:

Shrieking carnival barker is my new name for Bill-O. Thanks for posting this.
